This can be installed on Ubuntu 20.04 focal. LibSSL is already at version 1.1.1 on focal, so you can ignore those dependencies…
dpkg –ignore-depends=libssl0.9.8 -i cav-linux_x64.deb
This command got it to install for me. Good luck to all.
Thanks Dave M.!!!
this worked for me!
It did not work for me but a simple change did>
sudo dpkg –ignore-depends=libssl0.9.8 -i cav-linux_x64.deb
The change was 2 instead of 1 –
for some reason the page converts double – into only one –
Comodo cannot be installed on Ubuntu 20.04 either. 🙁
I switched to Dr.Web Security Space for Linux.
I tried typing in: sudo dpkg -i libssl0.9.8_0.9.8o-7ubuntu3.2_amd64.deb
